YOBBISH behaviour and community safety are top of the agenda of the next meeting of Denby Dale area committee on December 14.

The meeting, at 7pm at Emley First School, will be of interest to Emley residents concerned about anti-social behaviour in the village.

There will be a progress report on a project funded by the area committee on setting up a no cold calling zone to thwart rogue traders.

A senior highways officer will also discuss possible road safety initiatives for Emley.

The area committee will also consider several local projects including providing extra grit bins in Skelmanthorpe and Emley and providing equipment for the Denby Dale and Kirkburton Neighbourhood Management Group which will be set up in the New Year.

Residents also have the opportunity to say which local footpaths and heritage features are most in need of improvement.

Clr Maggie Blanshard, of Denby Dale area committee, said: "We look forward to a good attendance.

"We are always keen to listen and learn from the views of local residents."
